Woody Bay
Edit SpotAbout
Great spot, but only for the experienced. Kept quiet by most of the locals.
Additional Info:
Brilliant spot if you catch it right. Quick take off and set up for the barrel as early as possible. Quite a fickle ledge with small take off area. Can get shallow at lower tides due to exposed rocks.
